“This week I’ve been reflecting on a passage from my novel, The Time In Between: ‘Dreams don’t carry over calendars. They don’t leave behind the scent of sandalwood or the sound of applause echoing in the back of your mind. They don’t make you wake up wondering if you’ve left a version of yourself behind in another life.’ Have you ever had a dream that felt too real — like it belonged to another version of you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.”

“It was then that I understood something essential: once a book is published, it no longer belongs to you. It takes on a life of its own. It begins to walk on its own legs, like a child who has chosen a direction. And most of all, no reader simply reads it — they see themselves reflected in it. And what they see — or what they refuse to see — depends far more on them than on you.”

“بابام همیشه می گفت که سؤال یک چیز جدی است و نباید سرسری به آن جواب داد. باید از هر جهت به آن فکر کرد جواب های غیر معقول آن را دور ریخت و بقیه را سبک و سنگین کرد. می گفت روی همین اصل که به خیلی از سؤالات پیش از آن که خوب و درست طرح شوند، زود جواب داده شده، فجایع بسیار اتفاق افتاده است.”

“In repressing and censoring the literary genre specifically invented to give "the necessity of lying" a place in the world, the Inquisitors achieved exactly the opposite of what they wanted. Theirs was a world without novels, yes, but also a world into which fiction had spread and contaminated practically everything: history, religion, poetry, science, art, speeches, journalism, and the daily habits of people.”

“We still are victims, in Latin America, of what we could call 'the revenge of the novel.' We still have great difficulty in our countries in differentiating between fiction and reality. We are traditionally accustomed to mix them in such a way that this is, probably, one of the reasons why we are so impractical and inept in political matters, for instance. But some good came also from this novelization of our whole life. Books such as Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, Cortázar's short stories, and Roa Bastos's novels would not have been possible otherwise.”
